have a new home going in on 35 acres, with about a 200 yard driveway, which winds it's way to the house. the soil is a uhlig or cheney silt loam. (very powdery when dry and disturbed, but settles and firms quite a bit with moisture).
I'm looking for something to plant on about 1/5 acres of bermed up area along the driveway... not a lawn necessarily, but something drought and cold resistant.
We get about 20'ish inches of rain a year, and winter lows below zero, tho not for extended times.
The summers can be hot (100) typically in the 80's to mid 90's.
Don't want to water this stuff every other day, and would rather have something growing un-checked than a mowed carpet.
Any recommendations for something hardy, unique and functional would be great!
P.S.
Bunch grasses are common to the area.
